Do You Need A Knee Brace?
When you have an injury or are experiencing pain in your knee, a brace can help provide support and reduce the inflammation by limiting movement. There are many types of braces for different purposes including ones focused on providing relief from certain ailments like arthritis-related issues!
What is the Best Knee Brace?
With the increased wait times for surgical consults and elective surgeries, this can put further strain on a patient’s mobility and deteriorate their quality of life. Custom osteoarthritis unloading bracing is a non-invasive way to improve knee alignment, offload the affected knee compartment, and reduce pain while completing activities of daily living.
We have seen the benefit of Physical Therapy for patients waiting for surgeries and those returning to sport, and with the addition of custom bracing, the patient will lead a more comfortable, stable, and active life.

Approach to Knee Braces
For those that come to Kinesis Physical Therapy with knee injuries we typically advise a period of activity modification to avoid potential further injury. A personalized treatment plan based on the results of the evaluation as well as the proper use and fitting of the knee brace.
In most cases, treatment will involve various other exercises that can help with strength training to address any weakness in muscles around your body including those located near their joints such as the hip & trunk area because this could cause discomfort while walking due to lack of movement.
In addition, we’ll recommend that patients wear knee braces to alleviate pain and prevent potential future injuries. Braces come in a variety of sizes and styles; they’re each designed for specific functions so it’s important to visit us for an assessment.
